After mutating from a space virus exposed to radiation, this Deoxys arrived on Earth with its partner, Individual 2, on a meteorite in the Hoenn region. The two were snatched away from the Mossdeep Space Center by Team Rocket, but Individual 2 managed to run away. Individual 1 was used by Team Rocket to ambush the Pallet Town Dex Holders, specifically Red, who could lure out Individual 2. Individual 1 was deemed useless afterwards and its current whereabouts are unknown.
